ADGL STORIES

Fr. Ron Baird of St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, Lewis Center in the Columbus, Ohio area, will lead a pilgrimage to the Holy Land May 27-June 6, and invites all those interested to join him!

The cost of the trip is $4,098 per person, which includes airfare, accommodations, breakfast and dinner daily, transportation in the Holy Land, and entrance to all sights of interest. Not included are lunches, tips and personal items. Those who make their initial deposit of $350 by Feb. 28 will receive $100 off the cost of the tour.

If you're interested in participating, but find that cost is an issue, please see Fr. Ron. We do have some matching grant money available, thanks to the generosity of several members of our parish.

The 11-day trip will depart Columbus for New York on Monday, May 27, where we’ll take an overnight flight to Tel Aviv, Israel. We’ll return on Thursday, June 6. The pilgrimage will take us from Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, to his boyhood home of Nazareth. We’ll visit Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee, where he began his earthly ministry and called his first disciples. And in the Holy City of Jerusalem we’ll walk the Via Dolorosa, following in our Lord’s footsteps to the Cross of Golgotha, and finally to the place of the empty tomb, where the angel proclaimed that “He is not here. He is risen!”

In Jordan, we’ll visit what is believed to be the baptismal site of Jesus, as well as the ancient city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
